Okay, so a friend of mine and I just installed the skunk2 IM on his 2001 Base Prelude and even though we have followed skunk2's advise we are still getting an EGR code for P1401 EGR circuit high input. The car runs great and pulls much stronger so overall we are impressed but the CEL is annoying. Any ideas? We have made 10 or so calls to skunk2 and finally talked to a guy named charles who said to swap the two vacuum hoses coming from the EGR solenoid. That worked for four days and then the code came back. His car is stock except for a CAI. According to the vacuum hose diagram on the hood everything else is correct which is evident by the lack of other codes. Skunk2 did a good job on the manifold but a sorry job for not including basic hose diagrams and for having suck ass tech support. Thanks.

 

check this out, it will probably help you out. H-T thread

 

Yeah, I posted in that forum but I want my boys here to help me out. They are a little touchy over there. First they were all bashing the design and function of the Skunk2 IM and now they are all buying it. When I posted questioning that, my post was deleted citing non techincal response.

 

yea there are alot of stuck up little fags on that site but what can you do.

 

I was pissed.

 

Honda tech is a bunch of pu@@ies! They're punks all there is to it!

 

So anyone have any advise on the CEL?

 

If the CEL does not go away can I defeat it some how? What are my options? Someone said something about using a P28 ECU. Does have a 97-01 Lude running a P28? Because if that's the case I have an extra P28 laying around as well as a first gen B16A ECU (forget the code). But won't that throw a code for lack of the knock sensor if I use the P28? Also, are the fuel maps sufficient for an H22? Will the 02 simulator fix this CEL? Can Friggin remove the bulb to the CEL from the cluster?
